Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

It was just a figure of speech. In fact I live in the UK so any hospital treatment would be on the NHS anyway. No, it was just my way of saying I'd rather not get pummelled for doing as you suggest. Them spending a night in a cell wouldn't be much compensation.

 

Resin art.

Perhaps it's just a glitch in the algorithms, but it's resin+wood tables and resin tchotchke and resin this and resin that all day in my feed. I feel like in 20 years time the shelves and back areas of Goodwill and Salvation Army are going to be glutted with dated-ass resin shit.

 

when the elderly throw tantrums

Spoiler: (at work as greeter)

Me: hello ma'am! here is your 1 hour time sticker
Woman: do i have to wear this? i'll be quick
Me: you dont have to wear it, but you can hold it and throw it in the trash on your way out
Woman: -snatches sticker, throws it back at me, storms off-
Security guard: hey, miss, you cant just do that... its our policy that we issue these
Woman: WHY ARE YOU TREATING ME LIKE A CRIMINAL!?
Me: I have to hand these out to everyone, Ma'am-
Woman: NO YOU DONT! I'm not taking it! -pushes past security, grabs her items, is so flustered she cant even scan the barcode and yells at me, slaps sticker on the door on her way out-

all the while i'm thinking: ITS A FLIPPING STICKER!!!!!!

 

It's the principle of the thing

 

Whenever you try to post something on ebay, or create an ad on Facebook or Google, or update your business profile on the same and it tells you whatever you're were trying to do is possibly illegal or contravenes their guidelines because it may have something to do with firearms.

There is a difference, ebay/Facebook/Google, between "guns" and "Gundam"...

 

I'm quite offended by the fact that it thinks I only want to meet mature women. I never get the ads for the hot twenty-somethings.

 

I get ads for the sites that claim to have a 7:1 female to male ratio.

 

Yep, constantly. I sit there wondering how that's a selling point when the whatever ad tends to be for some degree or whatnot.

 

I do like a good hybrid resin and wood turned bowl or vase, but once they dump the mica powder in it all starts to look like 1980s personal bowling balls.

 

Because of Covid, we have to limit the amount of time for guests in the building. We call it "express hours"..... Come in, get what you want, scan, fax, leave.
Sticker is for 1 hour. It lets guests know when their express hour is up
(It also helps staff keep track of express hours too)

 

I hope they look like this:

 

Time for carousel, Karen.

 

....we def need cooler sticker

 

I don't think "library" and "cool" really go together.

 

*gasps*
SHUN THE NON-BELIEVER!

 

When I ask my Google Home thingie for a measurement conversion and instead it tries to school me on the formula.

Google, I will cut you.

You hear me?

Cut.

You.

 

There are an inordinate number of crazy people who attend your library.

 

Imagine saying this on a writing forum, like do you know what you have done?!

 

I should clarify...research libraries are cool. I don't feel the same way about municipal libraries.

I stand by my position in all cases.

 

I want a digital watch for work because fishing my phone out of my pocket every time I want to know the time is a pain. Shouldn’t be difficult, I thought to myself, and hopped on amazon.

But I was wrong. It seems that nowadays everyone wants a watch that’s an inch thick and the size of a dinner plate!
